 RELATIVE TO CAPO ON 4TH
 
 
[Intro]
G Em C G
 
[Verse 1]
G                 Em
Oh, the devil's inside
               C
You opened the door
               G
You gave him a ride
G                             Em
Too young to know, too old to admit
                  C   A7     C
That you couldn't see how it ends
 
 
[Chorus]
Em D#+                      C   G
      What did you do to my eyes
Em D#+                          C          G
      What did you sing to that lonely child
Em D#+                          C          G
        Promised it all but you lied
           Em   D#+  G/D G(b5)/C# C
You better slow down baa-by       soon
                       G
It's all or nothing to you
Em C G
 
 
[Verse 2]
    G                 Em
The glow of Hollywood signs
                C
They sold you a bridge
                 G
They fed you the lines (they fed you to lions)
    G                                 Em
You always confused your servants for friends
                 C   A7     C
But you couldn't see how it ends
It's all or nothing to you
 
 
[Chorus]
Em D#+                      C   G
      What did you do to my eyes
Em D#+                       C    G
      What did you say to my only child
Em D#+                             C          G
        Promised your love but you lied
           Em   D#+  G/D G(b5)/C# C
You better slow down baa-by       soon
                       G
It's all or nothing to you
Em C G
G Em C A7 C
 
 
[Chorus]
Em D#+                      C   G
      What did you do to my eyes
Em D#+                          C          G
      What did you sing to that lonely child
Em A7                           C          G
        Promised it all but you lied
           Em   D#+  G/D G(b5)/C# C
You better slow down baa-by       soon

Hey thanks for the tab looks pretty good. This is my favorite song on the new album. I have a couple corrections/changes for you to try out. A. Intro/2nd verse intro: hammer on and off G string 2nd fret before chord changes listen to song for timing. B. Chorus walk down 1: G to Em on 6th string frets 3, 2, 0. This can also be done on the 4th string on frets 5, 4, 2 which is done on the recorded version a lot. C. 2nd chorus walk down at “you better slow down baby soon” e|-0-0-0-0-0--------------------------| B|-0-0-0-0-1--------------------------| G|-0-0-0-0-0--------------------------| D|-2-1-0-x-2--------------------------| A|-2-2-2-4-3--------------------------| E|-0-0-0-0-x--------------------------| D. The lyrics are different the 2nd time through the chorus. Lines 2 and 3 only. It should go "What did you say to my only child. Promised your love but you lied." The last chorus is the same as the first.

What a song A tribute to Prince as the chords are reminiscent of purple rain and also a Jeff Buckley flair to it. Incredible song.
